Congratulations to the St. Clare Knights of Columbus on receiving the prestigious National Star Award and Texas Lone Star Award for the 2024-2025 year under the leadership of Past Grand Knight Jim Hickok.  District Deputy Joe Kramer presented the Awards to the Council on Dec 11, 2025.  This is the highest National Award and Texas Award which recognizes excellence in a Council’s Faith, Family, Community, and Life Programs, charitable outreach, membership growth, and promotion of insurance and fraternal benefits.  The Council has now received the national award 6 times in the last 7 years.

Congratulations to everyone for the tireless work on Service Programs and charitable work, it is our members and our spouses, that keep our Council vibrant and alive.  Congratulations to all the volunteers that make our Council work!

On December 28th, the Feast Day of the Holy Family, approximately a dozen families gathered in a spiritual dedication to be examples of God’s love by entrusting themselves to Jesus, Mary, and Joseph.

During the introduction, Sandra Trevino (Director of Intergenerational Faith Formation) emphasized the importance of family spirituality and the significance of following the Holy Family’s example. Deacon Bob offered a blessing to the families. Following this blessing, the families prayed the KoC’s Supreme Chaplain’s intercessory prayer. Through this prayer, the families sought protection and guidance to live daily lives modeled on the love, obedience, devotion, and humility demonstrated by the Holy Family.

Following the event, the Knights of Columbus provided lunch to the participating families. Planning of this event was a collaborative effort that engaged Father Vincent, KoC, St. Clare school, youth ministry and the parish staff. Each group provided support and advertisement to ensure broad participation.
